¾ Cup Whipped Butter
3 Tablespoons Zero Calorie Sweetener
2 Tablespoons Peppermint Extract

US as in You and Me
ok, So I get bored, i get silly.
Ingredients
Directions
-Bring the heat up slowly as not to ruin the relationship but keeping the heat there to fuel the desire. I don't think you could ever spice up the relationship to much so adding spice to taste is always good
-Apply copious amounts of love remembering to feel the emotion before giving up.
-Make sure you are wiling to give as much as take in all that is needed. Keep an open mind
-In this recipe, Don't share!
-Understand this is a recipe for a good old fashioned southern relationship
-Love God and Love your mother!
-Yeah, sometimes some things may require adjusting or compromising.
